We’ve also been active on the local New England Roller Derby circuit:
Boston and Providence Scrimmages:
On Sunday, February 24th, Western Mass Destruction traveled out to Providence to scrimmage against the Rhode Island Riveters. The following week, we traveled out to Boston to meet up with our sister league from the Bay State. Some of our ladies joined the Boston Derby Dames B-team in a scrimmage against their all star travel team: the Boston Massacre. Both scrimmages were a blast. Our ladies learned some new tricks from these seasoned veteran teams!
